What are the potential pitfalls of passing multiple values for HTML attributes in PHP functions?

Passing multiple values for HTML attributes in PHP functions can lead to confusion and errors, especially if the order of the values is not consistent. To avoid this, it's better to pass an array of attributes instead. This way, you can easily manage and manipulate the attributes without worrying about their order. 

function create_html_element($tag, $attributes) {
    $html = '<' . $tag;

    foreach ($attributes as $key => $value) {
        $html .= ' ' . $key . '="' . $value . '"';
    }

    $html .= '></' . $tag . '>';

    return $html;
}

$attributes = array(
    'class' => 'my-class',
    'id' => 'my-id',
    'data-custom' => 'custom-value'
);

echo create_html_element('div', $attributes);
